Sažetak
It is generally known that child's temperament and personality traits, as well as parent's personality traits, are related to the characteristics of their mutual communication exchanges. The aim of this paper was to determine the connection between certain personality traits of the mother and verbal communication functions of the child. 20 typically developing children and their mothers and 20 children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their mothers took part in the study. Children's communication functions were analyzed for each child's statement using transcripts constructed from videos of semi-structured activities of children and mothers. The mothers filled out the IPIP-NEO-120 personality trait questionnaire, which consists of 120 items that assess 5 personality dimensions of the five-factor model: Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to experiences, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. The results of this study showed that there is no statistically significant correlation between the average values on the domains of mothers' personality and the number of communication functions of initiation and response of children, except for the domain of Conscientiousness. Namely, a statistically significant positive correlation was obtained between mother's Conscientiousness and the number of children's communication functions of response, but only for the group of children with ASD. No clear explanations of these results were found in literature, which indicates a small number of research papers dealing with this topic and the need for a more detailed research. This would enable the acquisition of clear conclusions that would certainly have important clinical implications in terms of cooperation with parents of children involved in therapy with the aim of improving functional communication.
